I don't believe that BSD/OS 2.0 is capable of running any sort of FreeBSD binaries now, linked with -Q or otherwise. They've simply done too much to break binary compatability with FreeBSD and my last few attempts to get things working on a BSD/OS 2.0 box led to failure. You'd be better off building under BSD/OS and running with FreeBSD, really, since we've gone to a lot more effort to stay compat than they evidently have. :-( Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
